It amazes me people can get away with it so long especially being as old as this guy is(81). It’s gotta be a pretty enjoyable way to live though to me anyways but I’ve always had a fascination of moving into the middle of no where and just living.

It is surprising this day in age. enjoyable as long as one can get what they need but ya when we get older thats a tough life. probably why that guys ready to sit there till he rots right lol 3 hots and a cot as the old saying goes. there was another guy in Bellingham ma. that squatted off rt126 for many years until the state finally won a case to remove him. for years they tried and lost somehow. the amount of shit he had throughout those woods was crazy! it took over three years to clean it all up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
